Wildflowers of Southeastern Arizona

I've had some great hikes lately - all of them just chock-full of crazy late-summer wildflowers thanks to our generous monsoon season and relatively cool summer. I thought I'd share for those of you who were on my trips, those who wish they were, and those who just like pretty flowers... (now some of these aren't the greatest pictures - but I figured you'd forgive my poor photography in favor of my vast knowledge)
